Volcano to obtain the Fire Amulet Previously... The party, after doing their okay-est at navigating their boat through the rapids, came upon a small city which was on fire. In a shocking turn of events, we didn’t start the fire and Neros saved the day with Control Water. He’s as shocked as we are. With all the fires out there is no light. Who needs lights when you have Superior Darkvision? (most of the party ...
